"Sometimes time doesn't heal, no not at all, just stand still while we fall......"

Since it is Tuesday, it is countdown day. I have decided to leave it at 100 songs until the end of the year and then do a 200 song one then. Since it is an accumulated countdown many of the songs released this year are behind those older songs but they are coming up the countdown. Lots of good new music on my player. You Can't Count On Me by Counting Crows is number #1 this week. The song was the first single from their latest album Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings.
"I hope this old train breaks down then I could take a walk around and see what there is to see.........."

If one was to look at Roger Clemens life these days it wouldn't be a pretty sight. The major league baseball pitcher has been accused of doing steroids, committing perjury and now apparently having sex with a minor. The minor in question was country musician Mindy McCready and a "friend" of the Clemens family since she was 15. Whether or not the affair was intimate at that age is unknown and denied by Clemens but he is still a married man. McCready has served time for drugs, overdosed, admitted to depression and suffered from abuse. Below is a link to some information about her and you can check out her rap sheet yourself. Roger Clemens is just another example of a flawed person who happens to be a famous athlete, time will judge his actions accordingly.

Not a very inspiring or interesting blog entry today but most of you have eyes and memories, so you can paint yourself a better picture while listening to Jack Johnson. Today, the wind is cool and the temperature is only 8, the sun is intermittently emerging between white and grey clouds.
